huge gap between romney and poll. either they were staying home they weren't going to vote or those who didn't have their primary pick on the ballot a santorum or gingrich, a lot of them were talking about mobilizing, trying to get out and get the vote for ron paul. they wanted to try to make sure that they could keep mitt romney from gaining any more delegates than they expected him to get here in virginia. based on congressional districts. some of them are based on the statewide vote and three super delegates as well there are things in play here. it's possible for ron paul to pick up delegates. he has always known that since he is only going head to head, only one with romney here. the fact is he may have been helped by gingrich and santorum supporters who didn't have a choice on the ballot. they don't allow for wright -- write ins here. >> shepard: nine minutes until the polls are closing in the state of ohio. very tight race between rick santorum and mitt romney. santorum had been doing very well there lost some

we saw the exit polls, john king, and the exit polls earlier suggesting a slight advantage for mitt romney in ohio and not long ago that the polls in ohio showed that santorum is ahead, but mitt romney has been spending, and the super pac, and his own campaign and ton of money spent in ohio trying to do to santorum what they successfully did to gingrich in iowa. >> and remember on this night when rick santorum won in missouri, and won in minnesota, and won out in colorado, where was newt gingrich? ohio, because that was critical. so what happened? he fell back and won his home state tonight. so he has south carolina and georgia as victories for newt gingrich. and can he get another one tonight? we listened to congressman ron paul, and what is mising from the map? well, tonight, nearly half of the states will have voted. and ron paul does not have inwithes, but delegates. you cannot win the nomination without a win. what is happening so far? we mentioned ohio and it is colored romney red, but when you zoom into the state, we have 1% of the vote in, and governor romney is leading, but it is

romney polls stronger among men by nine points. among midwest and suburban voters and those with a high interest in the election, although that's within the margin of error. he also leads among married women, again within the margin of error. the president gets credit for ending the war in iraq and imflifg auto industry. but health care and the state of partisan politics drag down his numbers. mr. romney's business background seen as an advantage on trade issues and the deficit, but as our own chuck todd puts it, quote, there are still plenty of doubts about who romney is. and on the issue of romney's former company bain capital, our nbc polling shows 9% of americans see the private equity firm in a positive light. 9%. but only 19% describe their feelings as negative. that leaves a pretty good chunk saying they don't know with 72% saying they are neutral or don't have an opinion on the matter of bain. >>> vice president joe biden, meanwhile, wants all those voters to learn about bain capital in a hurry. he's more than willing to ta
